Orchestral Section Playing

Last month, I presented a class at the wonderful Meg Quigley Symposium on how to be a great section player in the orchestra. I created a handout for the class that I would like to share here as well, in the hopes that it will be useful for young bassoonists who want to improve their playing in orchestra. It's tough to get feedback on orchestral playing (I offer suggestions for doing so at the end of the document), but the principles outlined here are what have helped me in my own career. I welcome any questions you might have in the comment section!
